On
May 8, the SLSC grounds and ranges reopened after a 5-week shutdown. We
are still operating under COVID-19 safety guidelines and the current
operating rules are posted as you swipe in and at each of the ranges and
on the website under the COVID-19 Info page.
Most significant is the limit of 10 persons on the range.
These restrictions may lesson as we progress to full operation. The
board will notify members of any changes as they occur. The board is
also looking into rehosting events. Watch the calendar and your email
for event announcements.

5-Stand

Five Stand is a type of shotgun sport shooting similar to sporting
clays, trap and skeet. There are five stations, or stands and six to
eight strategically placed clay target throwers (called traps). Shooters
shoot in turn at various combinations of clay birds. Each station will
have a menu card that lets the shooter know the sequence of clay birds
he or she will be shooting at (i.e. which trap the clay bird will be
coming from). Typical five stand targets are a rabbit, chandelle,
overhead, standard skeet high house and low house shots, teal (launched
straight up into the air), and an incoming bird.
